These Release Notes contain information for the following products that was not available when the IBM Tivoli Identity Manager manuals were printed:
· IBM Tivoli Identity Manager Windows Local Account Adapter Installation and Configuration Guide
The Windows Local Account Adapter is designed to create and manage local accounts on Windows Operating Systems. The adapter runs in agentless or agent mode. The agent can be installed on system other than the system being managed. Refer to the "Installation and Configuration Guide" for remotely managing Windows Local account.
The deployment configuration is based, in part, on the topology of your network domain, but the primary factor is the planned structure of your Identity Manager Provisioning Policies and Approval Workflow process. Please refer to the Identity Manager Information Center for a discussion of these topics.
The Identity Manager adapters are powerful tools that require administrator level authority. Adapters operate much like a human system administrator, creating accounts, permissions and home directories. Operations requested from the Identity Manager server will fail if the adapter is not given sufficient authority to perform the requested task. IBM recommends that this adapter run with administrative (root) permissions.
The ability to manage service groups is a new feature introduced in TIM 5.1. By service groups, TIM is referring to any logical entity that can group accounts together on the managed resource.
Managing service groups implies the following:
Create service groups on the managed resource.
Modify attribute of a service group.
Delete a service group.
Note that service group name change is not supported in TIM 5.1 release.
The Windows Local adapter supports service groups management.

Silent Installation The adapter installer installs the adapter and Microsoft Run Time libraries. The adapter installer includes an installer which installs the Microsoft Run Time libraries. When you run the installer in silent mode, the UI of the installer for run time libraries is also suppressed. It is observed that on some systems the silent installation of the installer for Microsoft Run Time libraries does not work. When the run time libraries are not installed properly the adapter service will not start. Work Around:

· LDAP schema management
· Working knowledge of scripting language appropriate for the installation platform
· Working knowledge of LDAP object classes and attributes
· Working knowledge of XML document structure
Note: This adapter supports customization only through the use of pre-Exec and post-Exec scripting.
